Quick, fun, and moderately challenging: everything you could ask for.
Risen Kingdom is an RTS/TD hybrid game. You build units, defend your base, and strike out across the map to attack neutral creeps and expand your holdings. It very much feels like a Warcraft 3 custom map, and I mean that as a compliment.
The RTS portions of the game are where it really shines. Having to balance pushing out and expanding your base while defending it properly is the only real opportunity for skill expression you're given; the TD portion of the game is very simple.
Risen Kingdom plays well. It has classic Blizzard-type controls, including the exact same hotkeys for control groups. Unit selection is a little worse than in Starcraft or Warcraft, but you don't need micro so it's mostly a moot point.
Difficulty is moderate for any RTS veteran; the whole game took me around 7 hours to complete on the hardest difficulty, including getting all achievements. But for such a low price, value for money was very much there.
All told, Risen Kingdom is fun little TD that you can blow through in a single session. It's cheap, plays wells, and is modestly challenging. What more could you ask for?

I 100%ed this game.
except I did'nt.
Thats because its impossible to get the third star for completing all objectives on the Ice peak mission - even after completing all the optional objectives.
That said, its a cute little game, I like it.

The game is pretty easy, but it is still super fun. For $3 it is def worth it. It's not a crazy big game, but it is short so it works out fine. The gameplay is fun if you like RTS games. It's a fun twist with zombies as enemies, even if it's not the first to do it is still fun.

It's a good enough little game, think of a blend between an RTS and a tower defence. The goal is to survive x/x waves of undead. There are 8 levels following a pretty basic story giving context to the game, there is also a survival mode. However, the survival mode seemingly only has the 1 map at the moment, so replayability is limited. Expect a difficulty spike in the later levels on hard mode. Lack of an option to 'save' during a game is frustrating, so make sure you have enough time to finish a level before you start.
TL;DR, It's serviceable and entertained me, get it on sale for a few bucks, play a match and if it's not for you, return it.

Fun little game. Not a huge amount of replayability, but definitely got my money's worth for what's there.
